5.00Ivy and Kristof (sp?) were very passionate and motivated to get our group a worthwhile whale watching and swimming experience. The day before our trip, they saw 0 whale activity, not even a sighting so we were very fortunate to see a bunch of whale activity. It took 3+ hours of navigating until we found one chance to go in the water and see them. We lucked out and got to see the mother whale and her calf in the water during a 20 minute swim! At this point, most other boats gave up and turned around, but we had this wonderful experience thanks to the determined nature of our guides. All provided equipment, including wetsuits and snorkels, functioned well. The boat ride was pleasant and not very choppy even during the storm on the way back to the quay.
Very good team at the...

5.00You have to know how to swim well, with fins and snorkel. We're diving in the open sea. Christophe, the driver, and Ivy, the guide, form an excellent team! I recommend!!

5.00Ivy and Christoph were amazing hosts and very knowledgeable. Knew exactly where to be and how to interact. While you can’t guarantee what you’ll see we saw a mom and calf and got amazing pictures. Highly recommend! Of note: they provide wetsuits so you don’t need to rent any Also if you’re not a great swimmer don’t hang on to the life ring Ivy has for safety. She’s not your personal tow float.

5.00My wife and I had an absolutely amazing time. Our captain was Cristoff and our diver I believe her name was Ivey. Both were very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and an absolute pleasure. We cannot thank them more. First dive and swim we found ourselves watching a mom and her baby. A must do experience!
